"Social Butterflies"
How We Began?
Red Hat Regalia!!! Our chapter was assembled on January 28th, 2011.
Our first event as the Social Butterflies was a luncheon at Marie Callendars.
Some of our members came from a former group, "Too Hat To Handle" which was founded
and throned by "Queen Vicky." [Her royal name is "Queen of the Road"]
Vicky who is also the the founder and organizer of the "Purple Ball" which was held annually at the "Grand"
in Long beach; travels visiting family. The "Purple Ball" was then hosted by Gail Rico, of the Red Hat's
group "Dining Divas" RHS Chapter #69686, in Redondo Beach, CA. Gail and her daughter used to own the
Internet based "Purple Closet" where you could find all your Red Hat needs.
How Many Are We?
The Social Butterflies currently has 36 members. [2019] We have since limited our membership to 40 ladies.
Membership priority is given to
friends and family of current members. If you're interested in becoming a member fill out the
"Contact Form" below or email the Queen Mum with your information.
Note that SB no longer accepts Queen's of other chapters.
What Is The Criteria To Be A Member?
Membership criteria to be in the Social Butterflies can be found on the "Membership" page.
But, "in a nutshell," all potential members MUST BE willing to wear

The same criteria applies; a willingness to wear "Red Hat Regalia." (Lavender tops and Pink Hats)
And, all potential members MUST MAKE a commitment to try and attend monthly gatherings

The Social Butterflies Queen Mum
As the Queen Mum, I encourage members to dress up in their "Red Hat Regalia" to all events and
hoots. This is part of the fun to wear our "Red Hats and Purple Clothes" and to Accessorize,
Accessorize, Accessorize!!! The more "Bling" the better we feel!!! Our Chapter is an official Red Hat
chapter in Long Beach, CA. All our members MUST be registered with the Red Hat Society.
We meet monthly for regular events/hoots and our monthly "J4UD" a quick lunch gathering. I started to "mingle" with several
other local Red Hat groups and we are now extending invitations to partake in our "Chapter Events" by email or on the RHS page.
The objective is to make our gathering as much fun and memorable as possible and enjoy our time with our Red Hat sisters
encouraging more participation. It has been wonderful to meet all these lovely ladies. We take pictures at all our events and other
chapter events that we attend. Our chapter has 2 planning meetings a year to plan events and update our "Calendar of Events."
All our members have the opportunity to choose a "pleasurable trip" and month of their choice to plan their event. We raise our
money to tend to club expenses from our "Flutter Fund" which sits out at all of our events. This is by donation only. Vice Queen
Pam is control of the "Flutter Fund." Our purpose is to have fun be silly and enjoy our Red Hat sisters. We make our gatherings
fulfilled and liberate ourselves from the everyday humdrum!
